At some point in the future, I need to set about re-flooring and
re-grouting the bathroom. I've a couple of questions...

Re-Flooring
===========

I like the way that some hotels/motels extend the floor covering up the
wall by a few inches, foregoing the need for skirting board, and also
sealing more of the floor area. How is this done? They always seem to have
a perfect curve at the bottom? Is this filler, or is a thick floor lining
doing this? Above all, is it a suitable concept for home implementation?

Re-grouting
===========

Is re-grouting literally just chipping out the existing grout, and
re-applying it? If so, what is the easiest/most-effective way to do so? I
want to avoid broken tiles wherever possible!
